Junior quarterback Braden Hudson threw five touchdown passes to help the Pirates pull off the upset and improve to 2-4 on the season.

High school notebook: Braden Hudson's 5 TD passes lead Putnam City to upset of Edmond Memorial

BY SCOTT WRIGHT AND JACOB UNRUH | Oct 11, 2014

After the toughest possible start to district play, Putnam City came to life with an impressive 36-33 win at No. 9 Edmond Memorial on Friday night.
Junior quarterback Braden Hudson threw five touchdown passes to help the Pirates pull off the upset and improve to 2-4 on the season.
“Braden has been playing really well lately,” Putnam City coach John Wofford said. “He’s staying in the pocket and throwing the ball well. And he’s running when we need him to.”
The Pirates’ committee of running backs — Denzel Dean, Ryan Brown and fullback Austin Williams — helped the cause with a solid rushing attack against Edmond Memorial as well.
“They ran hard and were able to open some things up for Braden,” Wofford said.
Putnam City had lost 49-28 at Jenks to open district play two weeks ago, in a game the Pirates led in the third quarter. And last week, PC was on the wrong end of a 44-0 loss to Broken Arrow.
But the win over Memorial keeps postseason possibilities alive for the Pirates, who host Yukon in a game that will be crucial to both teams’ playoff hopes on Thursday night.
JOHN MARSHALL RUNS AWAY FROM BRIDGE CREEK
Saturday afternoon was much friendlier to John Marshall than Friday night had been.
The Bears, ranked eighth in Class 3A, couldn’t get their offense going before thunderstorms led to the postponement of Friday night’s game at Bridge Creek.
But John Marshall broke away from a 12-12 halftime deadlock to win 50-12 in the continuation of the game Saturday afternoon.
At 6-0 on the season, the Bears have scored at least 35 points in five games, while the defense has yet to allow more than 21.
LITTLE AXE GETS BIG WIN OVER JONES
Little Axe coach Ted Dorrell spent nearly his entire life in Jones.
He graduated from there and even served as offensive coordinator for three years. That made Thursday’s 19-18 win over the Longhorns even sweeter.
“It was real neat for our kids to go out and get this win,” the fourth-year coach said. “We did just enough to win it.”
Running back Jacob Sheppard scored the winning touchdown on an 80-yard run in the fourth quarter to complete another strong performance for the junior. He finished with 211 yards and two touchdowns on just 11 carries.
“Pretty much every time he touches the ball, something special happens,” Dorrell said.
The win improves Little Axe to 4-2 on the season and 1-1 in District 3A-3 play, leaving open the possibility of still earning a home playoff game. The Indians travel to Star Spencer on Friday.
“We can still win the district theoretically,” Dorrell said. “We’ve got to stay positive and keep going out and trying to take care of business on our end.”
WEATHERFORD REGAINS FOCUS AGAINST WOODWARD
Weatherford coach Dan Kurtenbach said his team’s mental focus throughout this season is a big reason the Eagles are 5-1 following a 21-0 shutout of No. 7 Woodward, even if they struggled against Cache the week before.
“We’ve done a really good job of staying composed and staying mentally focused,” he said. “We didn’t execute at times last week against Cache. Cache is a really good football team. They’ve made vast improvements and we didn’t execute very well.
“Our mental focus has been really good throughout the season. Then it just comes down to how well we execute on drives.”
The Eagles executed a long drive perfectly against Woodward in the third quarter, chewing up 10 minutes and going 83 yards for a 1-yard touchdown run by Jacob Hoffman for a 14-0 lead.
Hoffman finished with two touchdowns.
“Our offensive line played really well.” Kurtenbach said. “We sprinkled in some pass plays that were executed really well. When you’ve got a guy like Jacob Hoffman at running back, it makes it easy to call plays.”
CAVE SPRINGS REMAINS PERFECT BEHIND COINER, BISHOP
Class C No. 8 Cave Springs continues to shine this season, routing Webbers Falls 44-0 to remain a perfect 6-0 this season after going just 3-7 last season.
And it’s the duo of quarterback Wyatt Coiner and receiver Jake Bishop that made the difference Friday.
Coiner threw three touchdown passes — two to Bishop — and finished with 201 yards passing. He also ran a successful two-point conversion.
Bishop finished with six receptions for 121 yards.
Cave Springs travels to No. 4 Fox this week in a matchup that could possibly decide the district championship.
CORN BIBLE’S PENNER RETURNS THREE PUNTS FOR TDS
Corn Bible Academy senior fullback Jordan Penner already returned a kick for a touchdown earlier this season.
On Friday, he topped that by returning three punts for touchdowns in a 64-14 win over Temple.
Penner finished with four total touchdowns after rushing for one, equaling the total of scores by freshman running back Andre Miller. Miller finished with 197 yards on 22 carries. His longest score came on an 80-yard run.
Corn Bible (2-4) is off this week before hosting No. 7 Grandfield.
HARMON HAS BIG NIGHT FOR GARBER
Senior Trenton Harmon did a little bit of everything during Garber’s 68-12 win over Wesleyan Christian.
At quarterback, he accounted for six touchdowns and 200 total yards. He threw three touchdowns and rushed for three, and also ran two two-point conversions.
On defense, he was equally impressive with 10 tackles and a sack at linebacker. He also blocked a kick.
Garber (4-2) travels to Watts this week.

Western Heights enters the fifth week of the football season looking to improve to 4-1 when it faces Southeast at Star Spencer’s Twidwell Stadium on Thursday night.
The Jets, under first-year coach Justin Mayhew, are coming off their first loss, 37-22 to Carl Albert last week, ending a three-game winning streak in which they outscored their opponents 171-8.
Running back Gerard Giles is averaging 15.8 yards per carry, with 665 rushing yards and eight touchdowns on just 43 carries.
Quarterback J.P. Lewis has completed 77 percent of his passes for 701 yards and 13 touchdowns with just one interception. Rudy Thompson and Kevin Rassett each have five touchdown receptions.
This is the Jets’ best start to a season since 2008, when they began 4-0 and went on to an 8-3 mark, losing in the first round of the playoffs.
SOUTHWEST CONVENANT’S CLOUD BEATS FATHER FOR FIRST WIN
Southwest Covenant coach Trey Cloud isn’t sure how Christmas will be around his family.
Cloud is in his first year as the head coach of the Patriots and he got his first career win last week, beating Corn Bible 32-26. It just came at the expense of beating his father and mentor, Curt Cloud.
“It’s one of those, he was obviously was not happy but at the same time he told me right after the game, ‘I’m proud of you,’” Trey Cloud said. “It was kinda bittersweet but not really. It was sweet for me, but bitter for him.”
Cloud, 23, played for his father at Wesleyan Christian in Bartlesville. He was the assistant coach at Southwest Covenant last season before being promoted this offseason.
Little did he know he would beat his father for win No. 1.
“Everybody’s asking me how Thanksgiving is going to be,” Cloud said. “I’m having Thanksgiving with my wife’s family. Christmas may be a different story. He was good about it, but he was obviously frustrated about it at the same time. He’ll probably try to get me back next year.”
Cloud said freshman quarterback Sam Webb played well against Corn Bible, playing through a stinger that forced his older brother Jack to move from guard to quarterback briefly. Jack later broke his collarbone while playing linebacker.
The Patriots host Fox this week.
CLASS A POWERS POUR IT ON
It was the week of the blowout for Class A’s top 10 teams.
Second-ranked Thomas’ 43-13 win over Hooker had the smallest margin of victory of any of the 10 games, which the ranked teams won by an average of 46.2 points per game.
Cashion’s 82-0 win over Crescent was the most lopsided defeat, but five other games were decided by 40 or more.
WELLSTON TOPS NORTHEAST FOR SECOND WIN OF SEASON
Shane Page’s first season as the Wellston football coach is off to a meaningful start.
The Tigers defeated Northeast 21-6 on Friday to improve to 2-2 on the year. While it might not sound monumental, it marks the first time since 2008 that the Tigers have won more than one game in a season.
Wellston has not surpassed two victories since 2005. Of course, the schedule gets tougher in District 2A-2, with second-ranked Oklahoma Christian School awaiting this week.
